<p>The <code>joint.dia.ToolView</code> class is the parent class of all link tool views included in the <code>joint.linkTools</code> <a href="#linkTools">namespace</a>. It is responsible for rendering the tool within a <a href="#dia.ToolsView">joint.dia.ToolsView</a>, when the tools view is attached to a <a href="#dia.LinkView">joint.dia.LinkView</a>.</p>

<p>Creating link tools objects is the first step in the process of setting up link tools on a link view:</p>

<pre><code>// 1) creating link tools
var verticesTool = new joint.linkTools.Vertices();
var segmentsTool = new joint.linkTools.Segments();
var boundaryTool = new joint.linkTools.Boundary();

// 2) creating a tools view
var toolsView = new joint.dia.ToolsView({
    name: 'basic-tools',
    tools: [verticesTool, segmentsTool, boundaryTool]
});

// 3) attaching to a link view
var linkView = link.findView(paper);
linkView.addTools(toolsView);</code></pre>

<p>Every link view we want to attach to requires its own tools view object (<code>ToolsView</code> objects are automatically reassigned to the last link view they are added to). Similarly, every tools view we create requires its own set of tools (<code>ToolView</code> objects are automatically reassigned to the last <code>toolsView.tools</code> array they were made part of).</p>
